I cured my for around 4-6 weeks.

je vous en prie

I don't know if the FFHT model is quieter. I suppose you could look up the parts diagram and see if it's the same compressor/fan. My refrigerator rarely runs and my electric bill did go down after replacing the circa 1980's fridge. I do clean the coils every 6 months. It's a pain. So far I am pleased with this refrigerator. I've had no problems yet. We did hit our heads on the freezer handle a couple of times. You quickly learn not to stand up into it when you have the bottom door open.

@@Diane_R Thanks. A tech came to adjust the auto close on our door and stated that these refrigerators are not quiet and that there are some even louder. I asked why many of the positive reviews stated that it was quiet and he had no answer, other than, "what's quiet to one person may be loud to someone else." Other than that, the fridge seems pretty good. I may remove the back panel just to make sure nothing is lose or shifter during transport.

I'll ad the the room acoustics could make a difference too. Maybe something to absorb the sound might help. Mine is surrounded by 2 walls and cabinets, leaving only the front exposed. I'm sure that is a factor too. Lastly, it depends on how good your hearing is too.

Agreed, a lot of reviewers are taking some sort of compensation. I still like the grinder. It's been chugging away grinding up chicken thigh bones in spite of Lem recommending not to do so. It did struggle on whole bones, but I got smarter and used a cleaver to cut the bone in half. It make it much easier. I would not hesitate to buy another Lem product.

Thanks!

I haven't tried the sausage stuffer option, so I can't speak for how good that works. I have been making cat food with it and have been grinding up chicken thighs and bones. Lem says not to grind up bones with this grinder, but it is holding up well. For sure the quality of the grinder is good.

You are welcome.

I thought I'd show how it goes together as a bonus. Good to hear it helped. Have a great day.

You aren't behaving like a christian.

Your faucet is the same as the one in the video?

They are ready to use after curing and removing the shells.

You are welcome. I found that grinding up the chicken thighs with bones is easier and faster if you use a cleaver to cut the thigh & bone in half.

Also if you pull on the spline as you are inserting it into the track with your spline roller as you go along, it will help to shrink the spline and make it thinner to help with fitting it tightly into the track guide. Depending on which hand you hold your spine roller with, you want that hand behind your empty hand to insert the spline as you pull it to make it thinner. Good luck

I don't have a good answer for that. I've only tried my ferment.

You are welcome

I don't see it listed on their website. You might try contacting Lizard Skins. www.lizardskins.com/product-details?h=cache-saddle-bag-jet-black&c=bike_bags&t=seat_bag&v=0

You are welcome. Have a great day.

You are welcome. I've used the cooker for a while now and am still happy with it.

I chose the recipe for the cat food in the video because it came from a veterinarian who consulted with someone who is educated in nutrition for cats to design that recipe. Melvin has been thriving on this food. Almost immediately after consistently eating this food, his energy levels went way up and his coat became super soft and silky. A few months ago Melvin was getting into some food that neighbors were putting out for strays. He was eating only that food and refusing to eat at home. I could see an immediate drop in his energy levels and coat quality. After working with the neighbors to keep the food away from Melvin and getting him back on the food I make for him, I saw the same improvement in his energy level and coat. I am not a vet nor cat nutrition expert, so I can't advise about other diets that people are recommending. I do know that this recipe has been wonderful for Melvin. If you read Dr. Pierson's blog, you will find some of the answers to your questions. For sure she does not recommend feeding vegetables to cats. They are carnivores. I have a link to the blog in the box below the video.

​@Diane_R I appreciate you getting back to me, and I will read Dr.Pierson's blog. Thank you so very much!

You are welcome. There is a lot of information in the blog. IMHO, it's a good source for information on this topic.

We need to remember that only raw bones can be ground! We MUST NOT grind cooked bones!! Dr.Pierson is very cleared about that. I saw on YT many times misleading videos, showing people making food for cats that may seriously hurt our fur friends.

Thanks for the reminder. Cooked bones will splinter.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

It's late spring and the vegetation is still a vibrant green. It was mostly sunny, not the greatest light for photography though. We were walking through a fairly dense suburban area.

You are welcome!

I admire your persistence! You are a good momma :) I have 5 Ferrell outdoor cats that I am feeding and 3 indoor cats. We got all the outdoor cats neutered/spayed except the momma kitty. She is too smart to be tricked to go into the cage! She has had 3 litters of kittens since she came here, and the other 4 kitties are from her first litter. The 2nd litter were all socialized and adopted out, same with her 3rd litter, except she rejected 1 kitten because he became sick with an upper respiratory infection at 2 weeks old, and my daughter brought him to me and I got busy and nursed him back to health. He is now 10 weeks old, and he is beautiful and healthy! I love this little fella as if I had him myself! Lol! I am trying to learn to make homemade cat food for the kitten first, then hopefully, for all the cats when he gets old enough to eat adult food. That will give me time to save up for an electric grinder. I left you a message above with questions, I hope that I'm not overwhelming you! I get confused with the contradictory information while researching the do"s and the don't's of making homemade cat food!

You are a gem for taking care of those feral kitties. I have been working with a neighbor to round up some of the strays in our neighborhood to be spayed/neutered and released. I would stick with Dr. Pierson's recipe. It's been a proven winner for Melvin. I know the good Lem electric grinders are around $500-$600. The Lem hand grinder I am using actually works pretty good. I found it works much easier and faster if you use a meat cleaver to cut the thigh bones in half. Cleaning up the grinder (about 45 minutes) takes as much time as making the food. It takes me 45 minutes to grind, mix and put in containers.

​@@Diane_RThank you, and so are you! I wish you and your neighbors success in trapping the stray kitties! And, yes, your meat grinder looks like it does a great job! I was thinking about trying an all stainless steel meat grinder attachment since I own a 6 quart professional KitchenAide mixer that I rarely use anymore. I know it could only do small batches, but at least it would give me a way to grind the bones until I could purchase a nice grinder. I made catfood today and I had to add bone meal because I didn't have a way to grind the bones. I don't think my spine would let me grind by hand, or I would love to have one like yours!( I have DDD, and have had multiple spinal fusions, anterior and posterior.) Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, and you have helped me to focus on the direction I need to go with this, which has given me peace of mind after feeling pulled in every direction. The proof is in the pudding, and in this case, Melvin is the proof! Much love to you and for what you do for us kitty mommas, and kitties alike!❤

I like to hear from people who watch the videos and try to answer questions. Sorry to hear you are limited by back issues. A friend just went through a major back surgery, I get it that you can't be cranking away on a hand grinder. For sure, Melvin is proof that this is a good recipe. He was at the vet yesterday for is annual visit and got an A. He does have some tartar on his teeth, which is the only downside to not eating dry kibble. I always try to find expert advice on topics that I don't know much about. The blog is disorganized, but it is full of information. I made the video for people who don't have the time to organize the info. Best wishes for you and the kitties.

I think the intent is to kill off some of the bacteria. If I remember from reading Dr. Pierson's blog that cats are more tolerant of bacteria than people.

@@Diane_R Thanks for the clarification

You're welcome
